+In this blog post, I want to give a high level overview of catalogs in Flink.
I will describe why should you consider using one and what can you achieve with
it in place. I will also try to showcase how easy it is to use catalogs in the
form of an end to end example that you can try out yourself.

+## Why do I need a catalog?
+
With an ever-growing number of people working with data, it's a common
practice for companies to build self-service platforms with the goal of
democratizing their access across different teams and — especially — to enable
users from any background to be independent in their data needs. In such
environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users
often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their
location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.
Review comment:
I'd probably place the intro sentence after this paragraph, then use the
subtitle to kind of kick things off and transition to the actual blogpost. What
do you think?
In general, it's nice to not speak in the first person in blogposts, so
here's my proposal to slightly improve the sentence you wrote:
"In this blog post, we want to give you a high level overview of catalogs in
Flink. We'll describe why you should consider using them and what you can
achieve with one in place. To round it up, we'll also showcase how simple it is
to combine catalogs and Flink, in the form of an end-to-end example that you
can try out yourself."
